A busy time beckoned and I quickly threw some things in bag and drove to Nikosia. Deanna, Elena, and Zoe were still out, so I shared a coffee and melon with the patriarch Coco and his wife Dina.
Their place is the top floor of a 5 story block, which houses the rest of family on the other floors! Coco is a famed artist and their place is almost a museum. It is full of his work and never ceases to amaze me.
The girls arrived home and we were off to Elena's estranged husbands (Evenius) for traditional Soufla.
What can I say, it was amazing, he had set up in back yard and we arrived to the smell of BBQ soufla.

Friends arrived and Theo, did fresh dips of saranagi and a rice, haloumi, tomato and mint. Fabulous fair and then Melon shooters with vodka!

Food was eaten over the evening and with music accompanying, we finished off with chocolate cake! Fully sated it was a tremendous night.

Back to Mavrogenis compound for sleep and awake this morning with another day to say bye, and return to Pissouri for dinner at Vrakas tonight. Its a sacrifice I know, but I will battle through.
